Red Dragon Brewery "St. David's Stout"
32 fl. oz. crawler, filled on 17 June 2017 and sampled on 21 June 2017
Listed at 6.0% ABV
Look: Opaque black-brown body beneath a finger thick head of pillowy tan foam. Head retention and lacing are average.
Smell: Clean. Chocolatey malt with just a hint of roastiness: dark chocolate with a splash of cold black coffee and some oily nuts. Welcoming.
Taste: The flavor follows the aroma with the addition of some coffee and background berry and apple-like yeasty fruitiness. Some mild tea-like and grassy hops also appear in the finish. It initially seems malty and sweetish with chocolate but that changes once the roastiness starts to take hold of the palate, and then you find the yeasty fruitiness, followed by the hops. So, it's not particularly complex but there are several elements working together. The bitterness is mid-level, and just enough to help the roastiness bring it to a dry finish. It's highly drinkable in that regard; and the slightly elevated alcohol never shows.
Feel: Medium-bodied with a soft and smooth, moderate carbonation as it should be for the style.
Overall: I wouldn't be surprised at all to find a beer like this on tap in England (or Wales!). Very nicely done. I'd love to try it cask-conditioned via hand pump ~ maybe one day!
